Unseen.

A friend recently told me, “Someone sent me on Facebook a picture of a person been murdered!” Usually there is a covered up blurred cover with the words, “Sensitive, caution.” That lets you then decide, if you then want to click on it, to see more, if not then move on. He reported the disturbing image and video to Facebook, and they removed it. He said, “I can’t unsee it.”

There are mini videos on Facebook, they are not connected to each other, the mini videos don’t always give a clue as to what is going to show. I click on them and then click on another; they are only like ten seconds long. These videos don’t linger in my mind, as soon as I watch them, they are forgotten.

Ten days ago, I clicked on one of these videos, and it was awful! It plays around in my head, and I see it over and over. It makes me gag, inside my head, I try to dismiss it. I am shocked at what I see, and think, how could anyone be that cruel! It has made me think about things in the future.

I hope when the manager saw it, that he was sacked! I would like to think, he went to jail! For making me feel the way I did, and for giving the industry a bad name! I personally don’t know how he sleeps at night.

Maybe he either hated his manager, or maybe he hated people? He has no self-respect. It is clear, that he has done that before, and someone this horrible, I wouldn’t be surprised, if he has done this at home too.

So, what did I see? The man he had swept up the kitchen floor, there was a lot of rubbish, he then put it all into the food that was cooking on the stove! The CCTV caught everything! It was at the restaurant where he works.

I would not let him cook for me, ever! I wondered, how long he has been doing this, before he was caught? Maybe he had it done to him? Maybe he saw someone do the same? Otherwise, where would he have got the idea from?

I wonder what his punishment was? Maybe nothing? Maybe he just went to another restaurant and carried on doing the same?

The image of that video is hard for me to unsee, I am sure, many others have not given it a second thought.

This doesn't sound so bad to me I can only imagine much worse. A case of "what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't desire" my mother always said,

And I know some sweet lovely girls working their way through university, treat your stewardess and hostess with respect and decency and your waitress friendly, and with generous fair and proper tips.

Well whatever the cleaner's reasons it is clear what he thinks of their food.

There must be very terrible and damaging things freely on social media never mind for kids to see, as for myself I do not do this "social media" business. None at all.

See you Maxine & Nolan

That is Great News that you don't have nothing to do with social media. I waste far too many hours on it! It is like an addiction! I remember when my daughter Meghan used to keep asking me to look on her phone to show me things, I would tell her I am not interested, I would remind her I have a phone if anyone wants to ring me or they can email me, and I was proud of that  fact. Life was simple back then me, then it want and got too busy! You are doing the right thing, you are missing nothing. On my phone each week it tells me how long I have been on social media and it is usually FOUR HOURS a day! I don't know where the time goes. A few years ago my daughter went a month (That was her target) without going on social media. She has done that twice. I would be unable to do that for ONE DAY! For me, Social Media as took away the reading of books that I used to do. I  was never a fast reader, as a book would take me about a month to read, or just over that time. But now instead of reading, I am on Social Media.

You keep up the good work, Don't get tempted to go on social media. My young grand son is on social media more than I am, and that is a shame. He has a phone, a Tablet and he watches lots of YouTube.

As an outsider now, It seems the great attraction in the end of social media is that it makes one feel important.

Well, Good luck! Nolan &

Yes you are right, a lot of people feel important, on social media.
